Men, Women, & Money Bundle by Shaunti Feldhahn,Jeff Feldhahn,brightpeak® Pdf

Money and relationships can be messy. Couples aren't taught how to talk about money, but more than that, they aren't taught that money isn't just about numbers. Our beliefs, values, experiences, and emotions all play a huge role in how we view and handle money. Getting in sync with their partner is the first step toward having good conversations about money. However, that's made even more difficult by the fact that men and women often handle money differently. Best-selling author Shaunti Feldhahn has spent years researching the differences between men and women and now partners with brightpeak, a division of Thrivent Financial--a not-for-profit, Christian member-owned Fortune-500 company with a unique approach to relationships and money--to help couples strengthen their relationships and communicate more effectively about their finances. Backed by in-depth research and full of expert advice, this dynamic six-week program gives couples the tools to: · Fight & Stress Less: Diffuse tension when talking about finances · Gain Appreciation: Truly understand differences--and their partner's thinking--around money · Get Aligned: Foster goodwill, intimacy, and financial unity in their relationship · Take Action, Together: Make more informed financial decisions together · Thrive in Love & Money: Get their finances--and relationship--on track for a brighter future The program includes six video sessions, approximately 20-30 minutes each, that introduce a key relationship component, how it applies to money, and what a couple can do about it. To go along with the videos, the kit also includes "His" and "Hers" guidebooks for couples, filled with activities, reflections, and even optional devotionals to help them get the most from the experience.

Staying on top of your finances when you're single can be tough enough - add another person to the mix and it can seem downright daunting.

The principles the Cookies set out in their first book about the basics of life planning and investing can work for couples, too, and this guide offers simple techniques that will help readers with everything from dealing with "money baggage" to getting out of debt to planning for retirement. Again they draw practical advice and meaty anecdotes from their own financial escapades, as well as readers' queries and the personal experiences of five focus couples.

Financially Ever After by Jeff D. Opdyke Pdf

Your Guide to Managing the Real Dollars—and the Real Emotions—of Your Relationship Too often with money, couples face two choices: fight and risk making the situation worse, or keep quiet and risk making the situation worse. Financially Ever After offers a third option: family financial fluency—the insight, knowledge, and vocabulary every couple needs to communicate effectively about money. Jeff D. Opdyke, previously The Wall Street Journal's syndicated "Love & Money" columnist, covers any and all financial issues that couples face, including budgeting, deciding on whether to have joint or individual accounts, dividing up family financial chores, confronting debt, making major purchases, as well as handling mortgages, employment, children, and even engagement rings. He offers dozens of real-life scenarios between couples, with scripts and suggestions for how to broach delicate money-related subjects with your significant other, whether he or she has a shaky credit history or is feeling left out of family financial decision-making. The book also provides helpful tools to organize your financial life, such as a budgeting chart, a "scorecard" to track spending, and an "affordability calculator" to help you figure out how much buying a house will cost you. A must-read for any couple starting out, Financially Ever After lays the groundwork for building a healthy and thriving financial life together.
